Omole Phase I and II districts

Located about six kilometers west of Ikeja, Omole Phase I and II are private estates inhabited by a small number of rich people.

They offer decent accommodation and superb facilities ranging from public parks to street lighting, paved sidewalks and good roads as well as good security and maintenance services.

Rent for a three-bedroom apartment ranges from N400,000 to N800,000 per annum. The estates are well served by bus, taxi and commercial motorcycles although most residents have their own car. Omole is close to the Lagos-Ibadan Express, one of the main highways in the city. However, traffic is often heavy during rush hour.

The area is dotted with police posts and checkpoints and there are frequent patrols especially at night. There is also a good security service on the estates.

There are no large markets or shopping malls in Omole but there are plenty of local stores selling groceries. There are several eateries, drinking joints and guest houses in and around the area for relaxation.
